Advanced Skin Resurfacing in St. Petersburg, FL
At Kevin Caceres MD Facial Plastic Surgery in St. Petersburg, we offer advanced skin resurfacing with the Tetra Pro-Advanced CO2 laser and CoolPeel® technology. Chosen by patients across Tampa Bay and St. Pete, this next-generation treatment is designed to refresh your complexion, reduce signs of aging, and improve overall skin texture—all with minimal downtime, making it ideal for today’s busy lifestyles.
What Makes Tetra Pro + CoolPeel Stand Out?
The Tetra Pro CO2 laser with CoolPeel is one of the most versatile resurfacing platforms available. Unlike older carbon dioxide lasers that often caused extended downtime, this system gives providers complete control over the depth, energy, and pulse duration of each treatment.
Key advantages include:
- Precision control – Pulse Shape Design (PSD™) allows customized treatments for both light resurfacing and deeper ablation.
- Versatility – Four treatment modes to address a range of skin concerns, from fine lines to acne scars.
- Faster sessions – Reduced treatment time compared to traditional CO2 devices.
- Minimal downtime – CoolPeel technology avoids unnecessary thermal damage, making recovery easier and quicker.
The result: patients achieve smoother, brighter, more youthful-looking skin without the prolonged healing once associated with CO2 lasers.
Tetra Pro vs. Traditional CO2 Lasers
Traditional CO2 laser resurfacing was effective but often required weeks of recovery due to collateral thermal damage. By contrast, the Tetra Pro with CoolPeel offers:
- Similar or superior results in texture and tone improvement
- Less post-treatment redness and irritation
- Shorter downtime—many patients resume normal activities within days
- Greater treatment customization, from subtle touch-ups to dramatic rejuvenation
This makes it one of the most advanced options for CO2 resurfacing in St. Pete and Tampa Bay.

FAQs About CoolPeel in St. Petersburg
Is Tetra Pro CO2 with CoolPeel safe for all skin types and skin tones?
The Tetra Pro CO2 laser with CoolPeel is designed to be gentler and more customizable than traditional CO2 lasers, which makes it suitable for a wider range of patients. It is generally safe for light to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III) and can deliver excellent results with minimal risk of pigmentation changes.
For patients with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI), CO2 resurfacing treatments require careful evaluation. Traditional CO2 lasers can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation in deeper skin tones. However, the advanced technology of Tetra Pro—with precise energy and depth control—allows Dr. Caceres to adjust settings for safer, more conservative treatments in some cases.
During your consultation, Dr. Caceres will evaluate your skin type and tone to determine whether CoolPeel is appropriate for you, or if another resurfacing treatment may be better suited to achieve safe, effective results.
Am I a candidate for Tetra Pro CO2 with CoolPeel?
You may be a candidate if you want to improve fine lines, skin tone, pore size, or sun damage with minimal downtime. CoolPeel is safe for many skin types, but a consultation with Dr. Caceres ensures the treatment is right for you.
Who isn’t a candidate, and what are the risks?
Patients with active skin infections, open wounds, or certain medical conditions may not qualify. Risks are minimal but can include temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity.
What happens during a CoolPeel treatment?
A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. The session typically lasts 15–45 minutes, depending on the treatment area. The laser gently removes damaged skin cells while stimulating collagen production beneath the surface.
What is recovery like after Tetra Pro with CoolPeel?
Downtime depends on the intensity of treatment. Many patients return to regular activities within days after lighter CoolPeel sessions. Redness and dryness are common but usually resolve quickly. Deeper treatments may require a longer recovery.
What is the cost of CoolPeel in St. Petersburg?
Pricing varies based on treatment area, depth, and individual goals. A personalized cost estimate is provided during your consultation. Financing options may also be available.
